The role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected scaphoid fractures (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Lannie, J., & St. John-Matthews, J. (2016, October). The role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected scaphoid fractures. Poster presented at Annual Conference. British Association of MR Radiographers (BAMRR), Cardiff, Wales, UK

Background: The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. Radiography has a low diagnostic accuracy and current methods of diagnosis result in many patients being unnecessarily immobilised for two weeks. The low sensitivity and specificity...
